Sailing Strange Skies
The Story: Above a world ruined by war, life still thrives. The sky teems with solar whales, blimp squid, and cities built on immense floating islands. But cities mean money, and money means PIRATES! In this swashbuckling, skyfaring romp, players will take the roles of scurvy pirates aboard a floating sky-ship, sailing this new aerial world in search of gold and adventure. Will they save the sky from impending destruction, or will they merely steal all they can before the end of the world?
Style of Play: This story-focused reinterpretation of Dungeons and Dragons will reward players who love exploring beautiful new worlds... and sometimes looting them or setting them on fire. The game's story will be mostly episodic, and each week the players will discover a new floating island to explore or nautical challenge to overcome.
Preparation: Each player will fill out a short online survey indicating what sort of character they would like to play, and then the GM will build them the perfect pirate to suit their fancy.
